Excited to share our 2020 #Bitcoin review.
2020 will be remembered as the year the long fabled institutions finally arrived and #Bitcoin became a bonafide macroeconomic asset.
Below are the top highlights of each month for Bitcoin’s historic year.

3 days into the new year the US assassinated Iran’s top general Soleimani.
BTC surprisingly reacted to the events behaving like a safe haven as the risk of war increased.
The events provided the first hints of BTC potentially having graduated to a legitimate macro asset.
COVID-19 reached a tipping point causing markets to crash.
BTC’s correlation with the S&P 500 reached an ATH in the following weeks.
This is when everyone learned BTC was not a recession hedge, it was a hedge against inflation and loss of confidence in fiat currencies. https://t.co/JB7dJ3qp6M
1/ Figure I should get out ahead of this issue:
— Dan McArdle (@robustus) June 22, 2018
Bitcoin is a hedge against inflation & loss of confidence in fiat, NOT a hedge against a typical recession.
Financial markets in free fall.
The liquidity crisis was so severe BTC experienced one of it’s worst days ever.
Now known as Black Thursday, on March 12, BTC plummeted as much as 50% to below $4,000 at its lowest point on the day.
BTC closed the day down 40%
With turmoil in broader financial markets as the backdrop central banks start printing and governments launch bazooka stimulus packages.
Money printer goes brrr meme goes mainstream.
By the end of the month the top four central banks had printed more than $3.5 trillion in just seven weeks.
QE infinity, 0% interest rates, and MMT enter the conversation.
The inflation narrative for #BTC is planted.
Legendary macro investor Paul Tudor Jones revealed that his Tudor BVI fund would be investing a “low single-digit percentage” of its assets under management in Bitcoin.
Says BTC is the fastest horse in the inflation hedge race and says BTC Reminds him of gold in 1976.
Despite all the hype around the halving it was ultimately uneventful...
Surprise surprise.

The most boring month of the year for Bitcoin.
Despite all the action in Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem and broader financial markets, Bitcoin traded range bound between $9,000 and $10,000 for 60 days starting at the end of May.
It was kind of eerie.
The OCC granted national banks and federal savings associations authority to provide cryptocurrency custody services to customers.
This provided regulatory clarity for banks and paved the way for them to launch cryptocurrency products.

MicroStrategy (MSTR) announced it purchased $250mm worth of Bitcoin (21,454 BTC) as part of a new capital allocation policy aimed at hedging inflation.
MSTR would go on to purchase 70,470 BTC over the next few months.
Its current holdings are worth over $1.7 billion.
Bitcoin tokenized on Ethereum reached over $1 billion (~92,600 or 0.5% of the total Bitcoin supply).
This growth was primarily fueled by yield opportunities in Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem.
There is now nearly $3.5 billion of BTC on Ethereum.
First day of the month, the DOJ and the CFTC filed charges against BitMEX.
The group was accused of operating an unregistered trading platform and violating CFTC rules, including AML and KYC regulations.
BTC surprisingly barely flinches on the news.
On Oct 21, PayPal launched a new service enabling its 325 million users to buy, hold, and sell cryptocurrency.
Fwiw we noticed an interesting trend. https://t.co/T52DDHci5o
Probably just be a coincidence, but of the ten largest US financials PayPal and Square are the only ones who got off zero in 2020.

And they both happen to provide customers the ability to buy #Bitcoin https://t.co/8SuXFpmxlu pic.twitter.com/pO45b6jC0C
Bitcoin received yet another major institutional validation, this time from legendary macro investor Stanley Druckenmiller who said he owned BTC.
Weeks later Citigroup published a report stating that BTC could reach $318,000 by the end of 2021.
https://t.co/7OPrjSpyuO
MassMutual becomes 1st insurance firm to buy Bitcoin.
UK based investment manager Ruffer Investment buys Bitcoin.
Guggenheim CIO Scott Minerd stated that the BTC could reach over $400,000 based on the assets scarcity and the relative value to gold.
https://t.co/YpgA3zi133
It was the biggest sign that a new era for Bitcoin had arrived - market validation.
Not surprising, a day later, Coinbase announced it was going public. https://t.co/NRmmBICTdj
As Covid-19 came into the picture this year the “when” question became more discernible.
https://t.co/kh1ojnJMQc
Bitcoin has the added kicker that it’s an inflation hedge fit for the Digital Age.
Hope yall enjoy our 2020 review

(1) Kushner is worth $324 million.
(2) Since 2016, Kushner has connived, with Saudi help, to force the Qataris (literally at a ship's gunpoint) to "loan" him $900 million.
(3) This is consistent with the Steele dossier.
(4) Kushner is unlikely to ever have to pay the "loan" back.
2/ So as you read about his tax practices, you should take from it that it's practices of this sort that ensure that he's able to extort money from foreign governments while Trump is POTUS without ever having to pay the money back. It also explains why he's in the Saudis' pocket.
3/ It's why the Saudis *say* he's in their pocket. It's why emoluments and federal bribery statutes matter. It's why Kushner was talking to the Saudi Crown Prince the day before the murdered Washington Post journalist was taken. It's why the Trump administration now does nothing.

Jared Kushner has a net worth of almost $324 million. But it appears that he paid little or no federal income taxes from 2009 to 2016, according to a review of confidential financial documents obtained by NYT. https://t.co/pMQDeCeDNq

2/ The Magic Question: "What would need to be true for you
3/ On evaluating where someone’s head is at regarding a topic they are being wishy-washy about or delaying.
“Gun to the head—what would you decide now?”
“Fast forward 6 months after your sabbatical--how would you decide: what criteria is most important to you?”
4/ Other Q’s re: decisions:
“Putting aside a list of pros/cons, what’s the *one* reason you’re doing this?” “Why is that the most important reason?”
“What’s end-game here?”
“What does success look like in a world where you pick that path?”
5/ When listening, after empathizing, and wanting to help them make their own decisions without imposing your world view:
“What would the best version of yourself do”?
